  • The Role of the South Tarawa-Based Women's Interests Program in The
    Waves for Change: the role of the South Tarawa-based women’s interests program in the decolonisation process of the Gilbert Islands SAMANTHA ROSE BA (Hons), Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Submitted in full requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Division of Research and Commercialisation Queensland University of Technology Research Students Centre January 2014 i KEYWORDS History; women; decolonisation; Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony (GEIC); Kiribati; Tuvalu; women’s clubs; women’s interests; border-dweller; Church-based women’s clubs; women’s fellowships; indigenisation; gender; custom; Pacific women; community workers ii ABSTRACT Histories of the Republic of Kiribati (formerly the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony (GEIC)) have failed to fully acknowledge the pivotal role women played individually, as well as collectively through the phenomenon of women’s clubs, in preparing the Colony for independence. In the late 1950s, and in anticipation of the eventual decolonisation of Pacific territories, humanitarian developments within the South Pacific Commission (SPC) called for women's interests to be recognised on the regional Pacific agenda. The British Colonial administration, a founding member of the SPC, took active steps to implement a formalised women's interests program in the GEIC. Acknowledging that women were to have a legitimate role in the new independent nation, albeit restricted to that of the domestic sphere and at the village level, the British Colonial administration, under the leadership of Resident Commissioner VJ Andersen, initiated strategies aimed at building the capacity of organisational structures, personnel, training, networks and communication for community betterment. The strategy focussed on the informal adult education of village women through the creation of a national network of village-based women's clubs.

    UNITED NATIONS S Security Council Distr. GENERAL S/1994/1197 20 October 1994 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL ON THE UNITED NATIONS ANGOLA VERIFICATION MISSION (UNAVEM II) I. INTRODUCTION 1. The present report is submitted pursuant to Security Council resolution 945 (1994) of 29 September 1994, in which the Council decided to extend the mandate of the United Nations Angola Verification Mission (UNAVEM II) until 31 October 1994, and requested me to ensure that the Council was kept informed of the progress of the talks in Lusaka, as well as on the military and humanitarian situation in Angola. The Council also requested me to submit a report to it by 20 October 1994. 2. During the reporting period, members of the Security Council have been briefed in informal consultations about developments in the country, including by former Under-Secretary-General James O. C. Jonah. It will be recalled that in early September 1994, I asked Mr. Jonah to undertake a mission to Angola to assess the current state of the United Nations efforts in the areas of peacemaking, peace-keeping and humanitarian activities. The mission included staff members from the Departments of Political Affairs, Peace-keeping Operations and Humanitarian Affairs. While in Angola, it met with President José Eduardo dos Santos and a number of senior Government officials. It visited UNAVEM II outstations at Benguela, Lubango and Namibe and one of the cities most affected by the war, the provincial capital of Malange. The mission was not able to travel to Huambo since it did not obtain the necessary security clearance from the Government.

  • Synopsis of Lunda Geology, NE Angola: Implications for Diamond Exploration
    Comun.lnst. Geol. e Mineiro, 2003, 1. 90, pp. 189-212 Synopsis of Lunda geology, NE Angola: Implications for diamond exploration EURICO PEREIRA*; JOSE RODRIGUES* & BERNARDO REIs** Key-words: Congo Craton; structural control of the kimberlites I lamproites emplacement; South Atlantic opening; break-up of Congo Craton; evolution ofCongo Basin; Kwango Group; Kalahari Group; Quaternary detritus deposits; diamondiferous resources. Abstract: In the present synthesis, the geology of Lunda (NE Angola) is presented and discussed with the objective of providing a better understanding of the regional occurrence of primary and secondary diamond deposits. The huge regional diamondiferous potential is viewed in a global perspective, firstly based on the edification ofthe Congo Craton from an Archaean nucleus, till several mobile belts accreted successively to that core. In this cratonic block the geothermal gradient variation and the stability curve ofdiamond are determinant both in the genesis and the transportation ofthis precious mineral up to the surface. Following this, we analyse the tectonosedimentary evolution ofthe Congo Basin, an enormous depression in central Africa; where the depo­ sition of thick sedimentary sequences is a consequence ofan endorheic drainage, that begins in the upper Palaeozoic and has its maximum expression in the Meso-Cenozoic. The sedimentological processes, essentially terrigenous and continental, is controlled by the pre-Atlantic deformation of the Congo Craton and reaches a critical point with the opening ofthe South Atlantic since the Cretaceous. The oceanic rifting produces important tectonic consequences in the African plate, reactivating structures from previous orogenic cycles. These structures exerted the control ofkimberlite emplace­ ment and associated alkaline ring structures.
